POM POM TREE SKIRT DIY

finding a cute holiday tree skirt that is unique and doesn’t break the bank is a real challenge. that’s why we created this velvet tree skirt DIY that you can make on your own and use for years to come! we also have a DIY on the poms too so you can make that pretty little garland that’s hanging on our mantel!

we partnered with who understands that the holidays can be a stressful time and are hosting all sorts of fun events in southern california this holiday season to make things a little easier. like their annual Christmas tree lot buy out where they give away trees at four locations in Los Angeles and Orange County. you can follow along with them on to find out when and where their # are happening!

• Start by folding your fabric in half, then fold it in half again (quartering it into a square).

• Place a saucer about 3″ over the folded corner. Trace it with your chalk pencil and cut.

• Round the bottom of the skirt by determining the length of your skirt and slide the 0″ end of the measuring tape across the cut corner, making at the measuring tape across the cut corner, marking at the same distance (22″ for the velvet skirt) all the way around until you have a round outline. Cut through all the layers.

• You now have piece of fabric that is sped like a big donut if you open it up and lay it flat.

• Do the same for the other fabrics you might be using.

• Sandwich your fabrics together and pin them so they remain in place. Cut from the edge to the donut hole in the middle so you have an opening to get your skirt around your tree easily.

• If you’re layering your fabrics, you can use fabri-tac to place all the fabric together. We made the velvet 1″ larger so we could just wrap the excess velvet over and under all the sandwiched fabrics. You can also sew here but since this is not an item that gets a lot of wear, gluing will be fine and save you a lot of time.

I have been wanting to make a tree skirt for years – but my sewing skills are basically non existent. This looks like something I could totally do – and is super cute. Right now we just have a blanket wrapped around our tree base, haha.
